This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Seraphina's graceful figure cut an imposing silhouette against the backdrop of the Moonshadow Clan's surroundings. The balcony she stood upon provided her with a commanding view of the entire clan, its dwellings, and the lush, moonlit landscape beyond.

As the matriarch, she exuded an air of authority and a sense of responsibility that naturally drew the attention of her people. Her people, ever loyal, sensed that something important was about to be addressed.

In this moment, the silvery moonlight bathed her in an ethereal glow, accentuating her elven beauty and the dignity of her role. Her sharp elven eyes scanned the faces of her clan members, ensuring she had their full attention.

The tranquility of the night was temporarily broken, replaced by an anticipatory hush, as the entire Moonshadow Clan focused its gaze on its matriarch. The weight of her words and the purpose behind her actions were about to be revealed.

"Dear members of the Moonshadow Clan, tonight, I stand before you to address an important matter, one that I believe will quell the rumors and hushed voices that have permeated our clan's atmosphere."

As her clear and commanding voice resonated through the air, the clan members fell into a hushed silence, their attention undivided.

"Our Moonshadow Clan has been chosen to host a most esteemed and elusive figure in our realm—a figure whose legends have transcended generations, and whose return is nothing short of extraordinary."

A sense of curiosity and anticipation swept through the clan as Seraphina's words continued to weave their tale.

"The enigmatic Zodiac Emperor, a name that has captured our imaginations for centuries, now graces our clan with his presence. I stand here not only as your matriarch but as the proud host of the Zodiac Emperor himself."

At this, a wave of excitement washed over the clan members, and they broke into enthusiastic applause. Seraphina, with grace and authority, allowed the applause to continue for a brief moment before continuing her speech.

"Our honored guests have journeyed to our realm on a quest that I believe holds great significance for all of us. They search for a cherished friend, a fellow empress, the Benevolent Empress Maria, who is currently lost to us. They have come to our clan seeking assistance, and it is our duty to support them in their mission."

Seraphina's words were met with nods of agreement and a renewed sense of purpose among her people.

Lyon's curiosity was piqued as he heard the mention of Maria, the Benevolent Empress. His sharp eyes shifted from Seraphina, the matriarch of the Moonshadow Clan, to Cecile, who stood beside him.

"Our actions, dear clan members, will not only define our standing in the eyes of the Zodiac Emperor but also in the grand tapestry of our realm's history. Let us, as the Moonshadow Clan, rise to this occasion with unity, grace, and honor."

Seraphina nodded, her expression filled with appreciation and warmth. She then turned towards Cecile and Lyon, her eyes reflecting the sincerity in her words.

The speech concluded with a resounding applause and a renewed sense of purpose among the Moonshadow Clan, its members ready to support their matriarch and their enigmatic guests in their quest to find the Benevolent Empress Maria.

"Our clan has answered with a resounding 'yes,'" Seraphina stated with a smile. "Dusk is approaching, and you must be in need of some much-needed rest. We will ensure you have a comfortable stay."

Cecile and Lyon exchanged grateful glances, appreciating the hospitality of the Moonshadow Clan. It had been a long and eventful day, and the prospect of some rest was indeed a welcome one.

Lyon lay on the comfortable bed in the Moonshadow Clan's quarters, his eyes fixed on the ceiling above. His thoughts were consumed by the quest to find Maria, the Benevolent Empress, and the mysterious figure, Liu. The weight of responsibility pressed down on him, as he pondered the challenges ahead.

His voice, low and resolute, remained unheard, a silent monologue echoing in the depths of his soul.

"I will find you, Maria. And I will bring you back to my side, no matter where you are in this vast realm. No matter what challenges lie ahead. I won't rest until you're safe and sound beside me.

And as for Liu, my elusive student, you've chosen to remain hidden. But I won't give up on you either. I'll bring you back, not as a servant, but as a dear companion, by my side as you've always been.

And as for Liu, my elusive friend, you've chosen to remain hidden. But I won't give up on you either. I'll bring you back, not just as a servant, but as a dear companion, by my side as you've always been.

This journey won't be easy, but I am the Zodiac Emperor, and nothing will deter me from reuniting those I hold dear. The darkness may shroud me now, but I'll bring back the light to their lives."

As the room darkened with the approaching night, Lyon's fatigue finally caught up with him. Slowly but surely, his eyelids grew heavy, and his mind drifted into a restless slumber, filled with thoughts of those he sought to protect and reunite.

The news of Lyon's return and the dramatic events involving the Wrymheart Clan rippled through the Second Realm like wildfire. Rumors and whispers spread faster than the swiftest winds, and the entire realm was abuzz with astonishment. The other two patriarchs, Oren and Thaedan, did not hesitate to confirm the astounding turn of events.

As the morning sun rose over the Second Realm, the shockwaves of the previous day still reverberated through the realm's inhabitants. They could scarcely believe that the Zodiac Emperor, who had been a legendary figure of the past, had returned in such a dramatic fashion, and that the formidable Wrymheart Clan had crumbled in his presence without him having to raise a finger.

Rumors and discussions echoed through the streets, in marketplaces, and in the hearts of every clan. The once-feared Emperor had reemerged, and with his mere presence, he had brought a clan to its knees. The balance of power within the Second Realm was shifting, and no one could predict what it would mean for the future.

The realm was held in suspense, waiting to see what Lyon, the Zodiac Emperor, would do next. His return had sent shockwaves through the Second Realm, and the reverberations of this event were far from over.
